Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator, median sold price, is 158,800, which anchors recent transaction values in the neighborhood and aligns with a upward price momentum given the price year-over-year trend is up and the market temperature is hot.
  2. Liquidity signals are mixed: the median days on market is 248, which may indicate slower sales velocity despite the hot market temperature and upward price trend—suggesting pricing friction or selective buyer activity rather than rapid turnover.
  3. Pricing density is centered around a median price per square foot of 124, providing a clear per-unit benchmark for pricing comparable single-family and condominium listings and supporting consistent valuation guidelines for appraisals and offers.
  4. Rental and financing context: median market rent is 1,300 and rent year-over-year trend is up, while interest rate pressure is described as moderate and prevailing 30-year fixed rates are approximately 6.53%; together these factors encourage cautious buyer behavior but sustain investor interest in income-producing properties.
